Kenya Railways in the spotlight over demolition of Wamatangi property
Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi arrives at the site where his property and business was demolished along Douglas Wakiihuri Road on January 14, 2026 and inspects the magnitude of the damage.
A business property in Nairobi, which is linked to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi, was demolished barely 24 hours after a court barred Kenya Railways from evicting its occupants or demolishing it, raising concerns over alleged defiance of judicial authority.
The demolition of the property, which is located near Nyayo National Stadium, proceeded despite court orders preserving the property pending resolution of the dispute. This escalation intensifies a legal battle over land rights, tenancy protections, and adherence to the rule of law.
